What a plant-based hair relaxer????
While chit-chatting with a friend of mine we were talking about hair, when I asked if she still permed her hair....she expressed that she doesn't perm with lye anymore but with a less harsh perm that has a soy & egg base.
Known as a Phytospecific hair relaxer (phytorelaxer) is a hair care product designed to loosen the wave/curl pattern out of hair. A phytospecific relaxer is supposed to be free of harsh chemicals that are often found in lye/no lye hair relaxers. Phytospecific relaxers contain egg & soy; having soy qualifies this relaxer as a "phyto" (plant based) relaxer. The product is advertised by manufacturers to relax hair temporarily with he egg and soy extracts the active ingredient in relaxing the hair.
The issue with this product is it is misleading as it also contains Guanidine carbonate or carbonic acid with guanidine, known as an organic salt. It is this organic salt that activates the relaxer's straightening properties as the guanidine carbonate has a pH level between 11.5-12.5, very similar to the pH levels in lye relaxers.
